B45: Sicilian Four Knights
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 6.Be3 Bb4 7.f3 d5 8.a3? this just ignores the attack on e4 [>=8.Nxc6 bxc6 9.e5 Nd7 10.f4 Qa5 11.Bd2= James Morris-Douglas Stewart, Jackson Chess Club G/10 #11, 2004]
8...Bxc3+ 9.bxc3 dxe4 10.Nb5 this looked a little disconcerting over the board, but it really doesn't include any threats [10.Nxc6 Qxd1+ 11.Rxd1 bxc6 12.fxe4 Nxe4 13.Bd4=/+ ]
10...0-0-/+ 11.Qxd8 Rxd8 12.fxe4 Nxe4 13.Bd3 Nf6 14.Bg5 a6 15.Nc7 Rb8 16.Rd1 [16.Be3 b5 17.0-0 Ng4-/+ ]
16...Rd7!? maybe this wasn't the strongest response, but it was something that I could understand! [16...Kf8 17.Be3 b5 18.Bc5+ Ne7-+ ]
17.Bxf6-/+ Rxc7 [17...gxf6? 18.Ne8 Rd8 19.Nxf6+ Kg7 20.0-0= ]
18.Bh4 e5 19.Be4 Be6 20.Bxc6 [>=20.Rd6-+ ]
20...Rxc6 White must be planning on opposite colored bishops, but there is definitely too much other wood on the board right now for that to be a factor
21.Rd3 Rbc8 22.Kd2 f6 23.Rd1 Rc4 24.Bg3 Bf5 25.Rf3? [25.Re3 Ra4 26.Ra1 Be4-+ ]
25...Rd8+?! this gives White a chance to clean up his pawn structure [>=25...Bg4 26.Rdf1 Bxf3 27.Rxf3-+ ]
26.Kc1 [26.Rd3 Bxd3 27.cxd3-+ is a little more palatable for White]
26...Rxd1+ 27.Kxd1 Bg4 28.Kd2 Bxf3 29.gxf3 Ra4 30.h4 Rxa3 31.f4 exf4 32.Bxf4 Ra4 33.Bg3 Rg4 34.Be1 Rg1 35.c4 a5 36.Ke2 Rxe1+ transfering to an easily won endgame with passed pawn threats on both sides of the board
